I notice that AIOCF is down just over 8% this morning. I saw no news and will hazard a guess that it’s falling because of the drop in AMBA.
So, my take is that AMBA is falling because some sales that were expected to be in Q3 happened early and were reported in Q2. This could make Q3 earnings come up lighter than expected…so the price needs to drop 15%, even though growth past next quarter is still expected to not be diminished. Short-term trader thinking…get out for now. Long-term investor thinking…buying opportunity, but a little afraid.
So, what’s up with AIOCF due to that? AMBA selling chips to someone else a quarter early has no relationship at all to AIOCF. AMBA makes video chips, AIOCF uses video chips. Two different things, at least in this case in no way related that I can see. Is it real, live people who think there is some relationship to apply here or is it computer algorithms that somehow tie them together? It’s a bit of a mystery to me.
